Ask as many questions as possible to know more about the person.

Before you completely fall in love with someone you met online, make sure you meet each other at least once in a public place(to avoid stories that touch) so that you can better understand and know the person. Pay attention as there are mannerisms and body language that are hidden online that you can easily detect face to face. It helps you make a final decision.

6. Trust your instinct

If you feel that something isn’t right or if you find it difficult to trust the person you’re in contact with then please, go with your instincts. Pay attention to your feelings at all times and also notice if some things simply just don’t add up. You should not be feeling uncomfortable in any way and if this person is making you feel like something fishy is going on – do not ignore the red flags.

7. Make sure you both want the same things from the relationship

 Without common goals, it is very easy to lose track of the future. This goes for every type of relationships but it is an even bigger challenge when you’re dating someone you meet online. It helps to talk about what you both want from each other and from being together.

Do you both eventually want marriage or at least a relationship headed that way? Because if you both want different things, your relationship will eventually feel quite ‘unreal’ or as if it’s not going anywhere. Establish where the relationship is going early on so you both can invest in the relationship without wasting time.
